Goodreads asked Fenton Grace:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Fenton Grace I think the best thing about being a novelist, in particular, is being able to create an entire world -- characters, setting, plot, etc. -- and to express feelings and ideas in a story. You can create a self-contained universe that can be anything you want. It doesn't have to be real. It can be magical, futuristic, historical. It can span time, places, be completely unique or also completely "real". There are no limits as a novelist. You're "God" in a way. No other profession offers such freedom and responsibility.
